Giants Draft Edge Rusher, Nabers Disappointed

About this episode

The New York Giants, in a surprising move, drafted edge rusher Arvell Reese from Ohio State at number three overall, marking their third time in five drafts choosing an edge rusher in the first round. This decision, however, left star wide receiver Malik Nabers disgruntled, as he had hoped for Ohio State safety Caleb Downs, who was later snatched up by NFC East rival Dallas at eleventh. General manager Joe Schoen and coach John Harbaugh aim to make this pick count after earlier high picks fell short.

On April 24th, the New York Giants just grabbed another edge rusher high in the draft, picking Arville Reese from Ohio State at number 3 overall. This marked the second straight year and third time in 5 drafts they've gone that route. Their star-wide receiver Malik Neighbors looked thrown off by it during the broadcast from Pittsburgh. Building on picks like cave on Tibido in 2022 at 5th overall and Abdul Carter last year at 3rd, the Giants paired Reese with. The Giants of Tackle, Francis Mauigua at 10th overall. General manager Joe Schoen and coach John Harbaugh aimed to nail this one after earlier high picks like Evan Neal fell short. Neighbors voiced his take-live, pushing for Ohio State's safety Caleb Downs instead, since the teen traded Dexter Lawrence and needed back-end help. He worried about stacking similar rushers and wanted to grab Downs before he was gone. Neal's ended up with NFC East rival Dallas at 11th after they traded up, leaving Neighbors salty about facing him twice a year.

He stressed he'd rather have the playmaker on his side. Neighbors quickly posted to calm the noise, saying he was hyped for Reese as a dog on the squad and never meant to overshadow the moment. Harbaugh highlighted Reese's flexibility across linebacker spots and gaps, calling him their top non-quarterback target to boost the positionless, defense. Good ball news, powered by AI.
